No1851114fullEver wonder why some B2B brands seem to be everywhere -- people talking about them, doing news stories, winning awards, speaking at conferences? While advertising and good marketing can go a long way, many of these brands have discovered the incredible value of putting a face (or faces) to their brands.

In this week's episode, VanillaSoft CMO Darryl Praill shares why B2B brands should cultivate executives, as well as other employees, to be visible thought leaders who share, speak, and advocate visibly on behalf of the brand. Everything can't just come from "the logo."

Darryl shares:

How fear stops people from taking on the role of champion or spokesperson

Why it's important for B2B companies to have visible champions and thought-leaders (hint: people like to buy from people they trust)

His thoughts on entering VanillaSoft as the most public figure for the company and how putting a face out there has changed things for the company

The importance of leading by example and grooming people to be ready to get on camera or speak and be visible on behalf of the company

The magic of transforming the company "junk room" into the company's studio and hiring a media producer

How you have to build personal rapport and influence with your brand's audience and how Darryl built his community of sales professionals and influencers when he started with VanillaSoft

The power of being a bit of a contrarian on social media and video and why you need to have an opinion

The importance of authenticity and using your personality to shine to build awareness for yourself and the brand

How his wife helps him shine online

What qualities and traits do employees need to be a competent and successful public thought-leader

How powerful it can be to have public-facing spokespeople from a variety of departments -- tech, customer success, product marketing, and more -- to hit different audiences

Why you HAVE to get your LinkedIn presence in order before you start looking for your next job

Why he would never hire you for sales or marketing roles if you aren't active on LinkedIn

Some of the results that VanillaSoft has seen since amping up executive visibility

What he would do if he weren't CMO of VanillaSoft and could do any job in the world

A little sarcasm at the end because he still can't believe Stacy edits the show with GarageBand (he's slowly pushing us to advance our podcasting gear and tech)

If you'd like to get in touch with Darryl, connect with him on LinkedIn. He's always happy to share his thoughts and discuss ideas with others in the sales and marketing community.

344f698c-a475-a172-8aea-2369632f6485Mon, 06 May 2019 00:43:06 GMTEver wonder what it takes to plan and promote a big business event or conference? Liam Martin, Co-founder and CMO of Time Doctor and Co-Organizer of the Running Remote Conference, knows what it's all about, and he's sharing what he's learned about event marketing with us.
During our interview, Liam touches on some interesting facts about remote work, and he shares five tactics that he and his team used to pull off this amazing event, which was the large remote work conference in 2018.
A quick note to listeners . . . we did discover during production that there are parts of the audio with a few crackly bits here and there. Annoying? Yes. Rampant? No. We hope you’ll overlook these few moments to hear what Liam has to share. He’s an interesting guy with real-world insights and data about what worked in his promotional efforts.
This episode is longer than our usual, but we think you'll find the details interesting.
In this episode, we learn:
The power of podcasts as part of the Running Remote Conference promotion strategy
How community partnerships and sponsorships helped spread awareness
The role of cold outreach for connecting with influencers and performing direct sales
The importance of speaker selection
How video played a role in promotion of the 2018 event and how the team uses 2018 event video from the conference itself to generate awareness for 2019
If you'd like to read Liam's post chronicling everything his team did to plan and promote The Running Remote Conference in 2018, check out this post on the Time Doctor website. It's very detailed and incredibly informative.

No698111fullWe did it! We recorded ten whole episodes. OK, so it's only a very minor accomplishment when it comes to podcasting, but we've actually learned a lot through these first ten episodes. Yeah, we've got a lot more to learn, but we wanted to share what we've discovered so far about the process of podcasting.

Vocal habits that Stacy and Alanna both discovered they have -- and how much these habits and fillers suck (We left this episode "lightly edited" to be more authentic for this discussion point - ums, uhs, and so's left in this time)

Things you should do to promote your podcast

Finding guests

What each of us likes and dislikes about podcasting so far (One thing we both love? Helping other. Helping is a big theme in our company values.)

Is a rebrand in the future?

Bonus: we introduce you to one of our fav online personalities -- A Sales Guy -- Keenan. He is authentic and energetic. Check him out even if you don't sell for a living. (Of course, if you subscribe to Daniel Pink's way of thinking, To Sell Is Human.

The Marketing Mix with Alanna and Stacy is brought to you by Jackson Marketing. Need help with your B2B online presence? Let's talk!

No2338110fullWant to take your webinars from 0 to 1000+ registrants heroes? This week we did a webinar with our long-time client VanillaSoft and talked about that topic. VanillaSoft has taken its webinar game to the NEXT LEVEL.

On this episode, we're sharing some "after the show" tips, but we aren't spilling all the tea from the webinar. You need to go check out that session yourself. You can view it right here: http://jmi.fyi/vanillasoft-webinar. Here are eight points we are sharing, plus a few links to some of our favorite webinar software and equipment.

Eight Tips for Improving Your Webinars Covered in this Episode:

Embrace authenticity and natural, conversational flow.

Think beyond your email list when it comes to driving registrations.

Don't focus on the number of attendees for the live event.

Use the right equipment.

Pick the best software options.

Get social (or tap the social network of your team) to find terrific guests.

Select topics that resonate and use social to find the right angles and fresh perspectives.

Finally, if you aren't familiar with VanillaSoft and you have a sales team, why not check out their sales engagement software? (Disclosure: just a reminder, VanillaSoft is a Jackson Marketing client.)

Big thanks to Darryl Praill and the team for having us on the webinar. Don't forget to check it out! http://jmi.fyi/vanillasoft-webinar

No156916fullHow easy have you made it for an employee to compromise your social media and martech accounts? In today's episode, we're covering employee separation in the marketing department.

Stacy will share her personal story.

We'll discuss the need to clarify, in writing, who owns the social media accounts.

We'll chat about why you need to write employee separation procedures specific to marketing technology and social media accounts.

We'll talk about why you might consider adding corporate social media information to nondisclosure, confidentiality and non-solicitation agreements. (We aren't lawyers, but these guys are. Read their thoughts on this topic: https://www.schwabe.com/newsroom-publications-12811.)

We'll talk about who owns an individual's followers when a person has built a following as part of social selling or employee advocacy programs and how Twitter seems to lack an explicit policy.

No136315fullWe're talking about the challenges facing small content marketing teams. We'll chat about:

Dealing with executives who “don’t get it” -- no support, no budget, no sanity.

Being overly ambitious. Everything’s important and huge!

Not being ambitious enough. “We’re too small. We’re too boring.”

Winging it. “I’ll figure out next week’s post . . . next week.”

Ignoring visuals/video--or worse, doing it yourself when you don't know what you're doing!

No143512fullNobody ever said podcasting was easy . . . but it doesn't have to be incredibly hard, either! Thanks for joining the first episode of The Marketing Mix.

After years of encouraging clients to get into podcasting, business partners and sisters Stacy Jackson and Alanna Jackson decide it's about time to practice what they preach.

In this episode, you'll learn:

what prompted the duo to finally do this thing

why podcasting can be so daunting

stats from Edison research on just how popular podcasting is

data from Nielsen on just how popular business-themed podcasts are

The team also shares a few takeaways and good-to-know tips if you'd like to get started on a podcast of your own.

Remember: this is a work in progress, so be patient. We promise to work hard to get even better!
